To clarify, the existence of bad behavior among Christians -- or even bad Christians -- does not disprove the Gospel. After all, there is plenty of greed, hatred, jealousy, and strife among non-believers. Sanctification is a long, slow process for most of us. Jesus is making us perfect (as He wants to make you perfect), but He surely takes His time in doing it.
That said, Jesus told His followers that other people should know us by the love that we show. To whatever extent you have suffered at the hands of Christians, Jesus would not approve of your ill treatment. As a member of the Body of Christ, I am connected to those who have hurt you, and I am sorry for it.
